Material Supply & Traceability

We supply steel and aluminum as part of a fabrication or structure project we deliver. We do not quote stand-alone commodity material. If you only need material, a specialised trader will usually serve you better, and we will tell you so.

Three rules on every material line

Why our material line can look higher than another quote

A common practice in commodity steel is to buy material at the thin end of its tolerance, or below it, and invoice it at theoretical weight for the nominal size. The price per ton looks lower; the buyer pays for steel that was never delivered, and the structure carries less steel than the design assumed.

We price the material you will actually receive. When you compare quotations, ask each supplier two questions: is the invoice based on weighed or theoretical weight, and does the certificate belong to the shipped material?
